Esther Dexter

Esther is an award winning artist with a love of the outdoors. Strong design elements feature in most of her work, along with simple lines and minimalistic colour combinations. Influenced by Don Binney, Esther’s landscapes are stylised and often surreal. Colours are swirled and layered, skies are often jet black, hills are outlined boldly, curves and shadows are accentuated. Esther sells printed greetings cards of her work in shops throughout New Zealand. Mounted prints of some paintings are also available for purchase from her studio. Commissions are painted on request. All work is painted on 400gsm paper and framed in black with white mat surround.
